Lincoln's Second Inaugural address does not address "Reconstruction" of the South into the Union, nor does it address any prediction of impending issues of the emancipation of slavery; Lincoln simply suggests to the entire nation to look to God, and the ways of God, in finding answers, and coming to a peaceful resolve.

Why did Lincoln feel forced to declare war on the southern states?

He did not technically declare war at all, because he did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. (This is why there was never a Peace Treaty at the end either.) The North mobilised in defence of the Union, and to regain the cotton revenues.

Compare and contrast Abraham Lincoln's and Stephen a. Douglas's views about slavery in the territotories?

The Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 spotlighted the vastly different ideologies on the issue of slavery. Lincoln argued against Douglasâ??s call to â??nationalize slaveryâ?? by ending the Missouri Compromise and the results of The Dred Scott decision. Douglas countered that Lincoln was a â??Black Republican abolitionist who wanted equal rights for Blacks and opposed Dred Scott because he wanted to push forward â??Negro rightsâ?? and the abolition of slavery.

Why did America declare a civil war?

It never did. The newly-formed Confederacy could claim that it didn't want a war. Lincoln could not declare war on the Confederacy without recognising it as a sovereign nation. All he could do was to announce that he was putting down a rebellion of certain of his own states, and that he would need volunteer troops to do the job. That is how the war started.
